Beyond Numbers


Numbers are required to quantity anything and they are most easily assessed. In the present day technological environment everything is going digital which is two numbers 0,1 and for this everything is converted using 10digits. The good, better, best, worst, average, etc are all converted into numericals. Here the numerologists has nothing to do except to wonder when his number would come for fame.

The current time is of the statisticians and those people who can use the statistical tools to manipulate the numbers to give the required results. Manipulate can be to arrange in a sequential order, to change the end result by differential treatment numbers. The number games are best known to accountants who can show a loss making company into a profit making one, sell this another company making them fool. This is quite common Financial Market then in Technical world.

The thrist for fame has made the technocrats to learn the game of numbers to get their names published in reputed journals and demand higher numbers from their management who inturn raise the fees of the students who inturn demand more salaries from the hiring companies, who inturn price their commodities higher, customer in turn ask more numbers from their employers............This is a equation of spiral and the center is the greed. It is even worse then zero which indicates absence of some entity and by adding a minutest amount the state will change, but greed never indicates presence how much ever quantity you will add.

The student is pushed by the companies who demand good marks and performance which is analyzed in a bizzare manner in the name of performance parameters. To performe you require a skill set of politics(manipulation), tongue twisting(never tell whats required), a blank face(so that nobody can your mind).  There can be other skills required but the above are the essential ones.

The world has become from abstract to a numerical where everything is compared in realtime by allocating some numbers. This numericalization is a big stress promoter. To be free of stress and in eternal happiness you have to learn to move beyond numbers. There is a huge world out there beyond numbers which is more peaceful and it is like a condition of singularity to many.

Hope not that you may be rated by your spouse/children 9.9/10 instead saying perfect/good. To move Beyond Numbers we have to listen to the words of Lord Krishna(Bhavadgita).
